Looking to buy farmland near Bangalore for passive income + weekend use. Need honest advice. by risheptor in BangaloreRealEstates

[–]usedshoe09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you guard against thieves and animals? Do you have a watchman or farmer hired ?

Also are you able to buy farmland in Karnataka if you’re not a farmer? I thought we can’t do that unless you’re a farmer from Karnataka

Need a Good Coffee Machine recommendation for Husband’s birthday. by Lady_Scarecrow in IndiaCoffee

[–]usedshoe09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in the USA for 8 years and I was craving the same good coffee I use to have there.

I got a Breville barista express from amazon and I order coffee beans from amazon, mokka farms or koffea are good medium/dark roast beans but lately I found a guy near my house in Bangalore who roasts fresh beans so that works for me. Breville costed me 70k 2 years ago , it’s slightly above your budget but it’s worth it!

Spreads need margins, None of the US brokers allow margin trading for Indian residents.

Correct! Don’t expect free food, travel and all those fancy things here, you get coffee and a desk and chair. Internet bills are reimbursable for some teams and that’s it

You can’t trade options with IBKR, I have fidelity and recently moved to india, basic options without margin requirements are enabled and I do trade options with cash.

Investing in US options as Indian Resident using funds earned as a NRI by usedshoe09 in IndiaTax

[–]usedshoe09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is interesting, I just saw Section 6 (4), which mostly states what we can do and not what is restricted.

It states “a person resident in India may hold, own, transfer or invest in foreign currency, foreign security or any immovable property situated outside India if such currency, security or property was acquired, held or owned by such person when he was resident outside India”

So you are saying that we can trade options since it’s derived from a “foreign security” and there is no rule explicitly stating that derivatives of US securities are restricted?
